... welcome to Digits I'm so and I was in quite a week in tech plant ... Owen took the top three stories you need to know ... so that you're in the now ... at this weekend's BBQ ... and here to boil it all down to is the cost of ... the law Street Journal's editor welcome thank you very much like another tough freeing ... my favorite story ... Alec Baldwin must be really have to get ... out of all the new guy kicked off a plane that are played a game or until I read words of friends ... I yes I think a lot of us are happy now that the FAA is ... how does a draft report out there where they are likely going to ... relax the ban on ... using electronic devices ... up to ten thousand feet that's the with the current band is all ... most most Pursell Itron devices ... and uses really haven't updated will be given what's the reason ... that it was established in the nineteen sixties ... I'm ... when everyone ... was worried in the industry about the electromagnetic signals ... year feud with navigation devices and radio signals ... but everything is Khona chains technologically on the plane ... by in your pocket all the devices so ... on ... he I think the FAA is realizing that ... you most Americans leave on our Aunt Mary's to leave on their phones even other told not to ... I'm that that the of course we will see this fairly soon ... and hopefully the market were rated by the flight attendant before they caught formaldehyde ... that say ... okay number it's you this but getting incident ... diving into the MPS this is been expected for a little while it's it's interesting just to see the idea that the rivalry between Facebook and Twitter Twitter has its own ... I'd be a service that you can call it that it's ... just short clips of going ultrashort video ... or you can take up to six seconds ... and share with your friends ... on Facebook the Kindle something called video on Instagram this is their photo sharing app ... in on it how you're going to be allowed starting on Thursday when you can download it ... I'd to deal with share to fifteen seconds ... I were to video and to ... be set up the ante on its recession is in sight as I like alot but I clearly ... what Facebook is trying to go with and Twitter to ... Detroit the people of DCD use their social networks more and more so that they can show ... advertisements and people spend more time with those advertisements ... the year was also the author tends to be ... more lucrative ... from a dollar standpoint so Facebook is trying a movie is very into Mark's October due to the CEO ... recognizes that the wrapping and he did this with Instagram blew up into this didn't happen often hundred and thirty million users ... he eventually bought it for a billion dollars ... and now he sees what's happening with flying in and Twitter ... Tom took are some of the few app ... and so he's decided to to go this route so ... as any kind be interesting to see this golf course YouTube really owns the video sharing space so these guys are costly players ... and Cisco who is the Instagram co-founder and this he actually no different ... say how they're going to Mana ties as yet not to get as a good point now he didn't say I didn't really shows cars there that it's clear that there aren't talking with brands in the brands are very interested ... I if your company you can take a photo or video ... year three of the Amsterdam service and posted on Facebook ... and Enobia had attached to taste as we can currently do ... it's not clear exactly how tiny and video ... that's a guess on with with that humans are ... one of the appeals of ... Instagram for those Video filter into ... the camera filters you can also buy the stock is to be here as well ... yet I mean this is sort of an upgraded by so you know in fine has about thirteen million I think active monthly users to stream is uh hundred and thirty million ... the Facebook network is far better than Twitter ... your Facebook really can probably captured this faster than Twitter can so ... you'll see people actually shift out of line in the Beaufort to this ... new histogram is peace ... in the future ... and the number one story that we need to know this week ... well the the number one stories Micra soft ... and trying to buy Nokia is the story of the law Street Journal broke down earlier this week ... I'd be at the partnership for couple of years now obviously Micra soft ... and Nokia have a peek a multibillion-dollar deal ... where a Nokia develops phones using Microsoft ... software ... by not exclusively so ... and Micra soft ... it has mainly really to the mobile game they have their own tablet called Surface ... Nokia has really struggled ... in the smartphone market these to be the leader in cellphones ... these two companies are really struggling right now and they've been talking about a tie up but wouldn't ... expect this wasn't the first time that they had ... the stocks but apparently there are very advanced in the couldn't really come together on a few different things on one of most was the price ... I is not clear why Micra soft really wants ... the device business ... where Harry has this kind of art ... but looks like no dice on the deal ... for now ... that doesn't mean that talks did every night ... we would ... expect them not least its discontinued thinking about it ... ah but some dealers say Nimocks odd I suppose ... that you would be just a lot more yet dealing with ... time the impact of infringing on all these other sort of things when you own a big ... cell phone maker I like to cause bought Motorola come up with some issues with that ... you may be again interested obstacle to the end of his market share has also been on the decline yet yet and yet it is the prices come down to gets its market cap is still the fourteen billion dollars the device business would be a smaller ... chunk of that ... I'm and Micra soft has a cast to do this deal ... that doesn't really need to have been houses isn't the question ... thank you Scott Austin ... he then ... and that's in your top three intact ...
